he lied about the paternity to replace the daughter he & Sharon lost. He loved Cassie so much that he put up with years of Phyl's antics and using Summer to hang on to him. That shows some serious grief right there.

Quote FL senior fan: So now he's doing a RETEST because it really wasn't resolved...I believe referred to as tainted or inconclusive?

They might just leave Nick as the Father; just to throw us all off since we've been assuming she could be Jacks; and we've been lead that way by writers.

I say he was so desperate in love or heat with Phyllis that he did not tell the truth. He WANTED HER and the child would seal the deal.

But that isn't accurate...read the article and watch it play out. Plus, he didn't need a child to have Phyllis she was at his beck & call from her first mistress days with him. Sure they could leave Summer as Nick's child. But the truth would be so much more exciting to play out on the show! :D

An example would be when Kyle denied having feelings for Summer cause he "sees her as a sis" or the fact that Jack delivered Summer when he was in the running for being her father (yet never took the test).

^^^ I just don't see it that way. Of course I am not a Shick nor Sharon fan but have read all postings I could and see this as done for 2 reasons - Nick wanted a replacement child and he wanted Phyllis. It doesn't matter how many 'anvils' some see, I see Nick as Summer's father and Summer and Kyle as a couple.
